Mini Yam Baskets with Chicken, Cashews and Vegetables

Lunar New Year would not be complete without Nian Gao. If this way of enjoying Nian Gao is unfamiliar to you, you’d definitely want to give it a try! Sandwiched between yam and sweet potato, wrapped in spring roll (‘popiah’) skin, and deep fried to a beautiful crispy golden, this Nian Gao dish works perfectly as dessert or a snack.

This classic Chinese dish features rice, chicken, Chinese waxed sausages, mushrooms and chestnuts, among other ingredients, delicately wrapped, steamed and served in individual bundles of lotus leaves. The earthy aroma of the leaves beautifully complements unique fragrances from each ingredient to make every bite irresistibly good.

“Yu Sheng” also known as “Prosperity Toss” is typically eaten on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year celebration. This colourful dish is a must eat during the festive season and is enjoyed by tossing with your chopsticks – the higher you toss, the more prosperous a year you will have.
